Tax Information for Au Pairs
Updated: 4/7/11
We have been talking about taxes a lot lately and there have been lots of questions. I will continue going over tax questions each month at our Coffee Meetings through April.
Here are some of the basic questions:
Who is supposed to file taxes? – All au pairs who made $3650 or more in the calendar year (Jan 1 – Dec 31.) This is an update from previous information that we had received saying that all au pairs had to file, even those who did not need to pay. For au pairs who made less than $3650, you may still file a tax return if you would like, but it is optional.
Will all au pairs have to pay something? – No, it depends on when you arrived and how much money you earned last year.
When are 2010 taxes due? – April 18, 2011
Where can I get the tax form? - 1040NR-EZ Form
Where can I get the instruction booklet? – 1040NR-EZ Booklet
Where can I get detailed information and see a sample au pair tax form? – APIA Tax Info for Au Pairs
Where should I mail my tax return form?
